If your wireless device has a PIN number, then locate the number and enter in the field, then press Start Pin. 

Wireless Coverage Controls (5.0GHz) 

Adjust the output power of the Dual Band Wireless Router to control the coverage distance of your 5.0GHz Wireless Network. For a 

smaller coverage area you can select a lower output power. For the maximum wireless coverage select the 100% selection. Note that 

if you select a lower output power, your connection to your 5.0GHz Home Network will also decrease in range. It is recommended 

that you test your signal strength after each adjustment.
